Trusted Full House Remodeler in Kenner, LA
Taking a house down to the framing and rebuilding it right takes more than just tools. It takes a contractor who knows how homes in this part of Louisiana were originally put together - and how to make them last for the next fifty years. At CMC's Contracting, we help homeowners turn outdated layout designs, worn-out framing, and old wiring into modern spaces built for real daily life. Whether you need to tear down walls to open up a cramped floor plan or completely overhaul an older property in Jefferson Parish, we take care of the entire build under one roof.

What Whole-Home Renovation Actually Takes
Fixing up an entire house isn't the same as swapping out kitchen cabinets or replacing a bathroom vanity. When you remodel the whole structure at once, every phase connects to the next. Tearing open walls often reveals old copper plumbing that needs replacing, outdated electrical panels that won't handle modern appliances, or subflooring that sagged over decades of heavy moisture.
Managing a major overhaul means coordinating structural carpenters, electricians, plumbers, sheetrock crews, and finish carpenters in a logical order. Doing things out of sequence leads to wasted time and extra costs. We handle the scheduling, ordering, and trade coordination so the job moves cleanly from heavy teardown through subfloor repair, utility rough-ins, drywall, and custom trim work.
Why Tackling the Whole Place Makes Sense
Trying to remodel one room every few years keeps your house in a constant state of construction. You pay separate mobilization fees for subcontractors, deal with recurring dust and noise, and often end up with mismatched trim profiles or flooring transitions that don't quite line up.
Knocking out a full overhaul all at once solves those problems:
- Flooring, trim, door hardware, and paint match perfectly across every room.
- Plumbers and electricians run new lines across the entire footprint in one pass, which cuts down on overall labor costs per square foot.
- Core issues - like poor insulation, leaky ductwork, or undersized drainage lines - get fixed before putting up brand-new drywall.
- Your living space instantly adapts to how your family actually lives, giving you large kitchen islands, expanded master suites, or wider hallways without moving away from your current neighborhood.
11 Years of Framing, Finish Work, and Local Upgrades
Every neighborhood in town has its own building quirks, from older slab foundation shifts to specific framing practices used decades ago. We’ve spent 11 years working on homes across the area, learning exactly what works and what fails in South Louisiana’s heavy humidity and storm seasons.
Hands-On Trade Experience
Over a decade in residential construction means we spot structural load-bearing walls, subfloor rot, and utility issues before they turn into expensive surprises mid-build.
Built for Local Humidity
We select moisture-resistant drywall, exterior wraps, subfloors, and finishes that won't warp or swell when summer heat hits peak humidity.
Clean, Organized Job Sites
Construction is messy, but we keep work areas swept, garbage contained in dumpsters, and site hazards locked down to protect your property and neighbors.
Licensed & Insured
We hold full state licensing and carry complete liability and worker’s compensation coverage on every job site, backed by clear labor warranties.
How We Take Your Project from Demo to Hand-Off
Clear plans prevent costly mistakes. Here is how we run a full home overhaul from the day you reach out to the day we turn over the keys.
On-Site Assessment & Initial Draft
We walk the property with you, measure the rooms, check visible framing and utility access, and talk through what you want to change.
Detailed Estimates & Material Selection
We draw up actual floor plans, write down an itemized breakdown of costs, and help you select cabinetry, tile, flooring, and fixtures within your spending targets.
Permitting & Construction
Once permits are pulled and materials arrive, our crews start teardown. We handle framing adjustments, plumbing and electrical rough-ins, insulation, drywall, and finish carpentry with active job-site management every day.
Walkthrough & Punch List
Before wrapping up, we walk every square foot with you. If a cabinet door needs adjusting or a paint touch-up is needed, we handle it right then.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my project take?
Most whole-home overhauls take between three and six months. Small homes with straightforward layout changes fall on the shorter end of that window. If we are moving load-bearing walls, building additions, re-engineering rooflines, or waiting on specialty custom cabinets, the timeline can stretch out a bit further. We give you a realistic completion target before demo starts and keep you posted if weather or material lead times threaten to slow things down.
What goes into the overall price tag?
Square footage is only part of the equation. Total costs come down to structural changes (like taking down load-bearing walls), the grade of materials you pick for flooring and countertops, and how much electrical or plumbing infrastructure needs to be brought up to current code. We give you an itemized estimate upfront so you can see where your money goes and make adjustments before construction starts.
Can I pick out all my own fixtures and materials?
Yes. You have total control over your finishes, including tile patterns, cabinet styles, hardwood or vinyl flooring, light fixtures, and hardware. We can make recommendations on products that hold up well against local moisture, but final choices are always yours.
What happens after the job is finished?
After our final walkthrough, we give you instructions on caring for new tile, sealing stone counters, and maintaining your new mechanical systems. We back our labor with a comprehensive warranty. If a cabinet hinge acts up or a door needs a slight adjustment as the house settles, call us and we will come back to fix it.
Where are you located and what areas do you cover?
CMC's Contracting is based right here in Jefferson Parish. We regularly take on whole-home renovations in Kenner, Metairie, and nearby communities. Give us a call at 504-329-0791 or drop us an email at cmcservices.nola@gmail.com to set up a time for us to look at your place.
Will I have to move out while work is happening?
In most cases, yes. When walls are open, power and water are temporarily shut off, and subfloors are exposed, living in the house gets noisy, dusty, and unsafe. If the project is limited to specific wings or floors, staying in the house might be possible, but moving out during major construction makes the job go much faster and safer for everyone.
How do permits and Jefferson Parish inspections work?
We handle all permitting and inspection scheduling for you. Municipalities in Jefferson Parish enforce strict building codes, elevation rules, and trade standards. We pull the required structural, plumbing, and electrical permits, meet with city inspectors on site, and make sure every detail meets local regulations.
Is a full overhaul worth it for long-term equity?
Bringing an older home up to modern standards creates significant property equity. Updating aging wiring, installing energy-efficient windows, replacing old plumbing, and opening up cramped layouts makes a home far more attractive to future buyers. It also gives you a home that fits your life without giving up your current neighborhood or dealing with real estate commissions and moving costs.
